The Anglo-American Committee of Enquiry on Palestine was appointed by the government of the United States and United Kingdom as a joint body with two chairmen, Joseph C. Hutcheson (USA) and John E. Singleton (UK). The Committee was set up in January 1946 to report within 120 days on the political, economic and social conditions in Palestine relevant to the problem of Jewish immigration and settlement therein and the well being of the present population.
It was also to examine the position of Jews in Europe and the practical measures necessary to enable them to live free from discrimination and to estimate those who may wish or be impelled to migrate. The enquiry took the form of public hearings of evidence in Washington DC, London, Cairo and Jerusalem and visits by members to the various countries concerned.
